The Chesapeake and Delaware ShiI
Canal.

The National Farmers Congress, which
met In Chicago last week, adjourned on Satur-
day after session of three days. Among
the business done was the unanimous adop.
ton of a resolution introduced by Col. John
Carroll Walsh, of Hartford county, at the ses-
sion held in st. Paul year ago, but then
laid over, asking the favorable consideration
by the Congress of the United States of the
ong-discussed project of free ship-canal
from The Chesapeake to the Delaware bav.-
ms acllon Is entirely in consonance with
general feeling of the Western States with
respect TO tue advantages presented by such
canal. not only as shortening the distance
from the West to European ports and the
ports OF the Eastern States, but also because
oil It's value, in the opinion ofnavala and mill
tary men, as an interior way for the passage
OF vessels of war between the two BAYS, to
assist in the defence of Philadelphia, Norfolk,
Richmond, Washington or Baltimore in the
event of the blockade by any enemy's fleet
anchored off the mouth of the Delaware or
the Chesapeake. 1t thus presents double
claim to the favorable consideration of Con-
gress-frst as commercial highway, and
next as link in the system ofinterior water
ways as recommended by Gen. Grant. -Bali-
more Sun.
II is TO be hoped that our Senator and
Representatives in Congress will continue to
urge upon that body the speedy construction
OF This great work, the Chesapeake and Della
ware free ship canal, so important, in ma.
tional point of view, and which will be of
such immense advantage to our commercial
metropolis, the city of Baltimore and to our
State. Towhat more laudable purpose could
aportion of the enormous surplus of money
in the Treasury ofthc United States be APP
piled than to the construction of this great
national work.

| DEATH OF MIR. THOMAS HANwAY.-Thc death
Of Mr.. Thomas Hanway, hardware merchant,
of Bel Air, which occurred at 10 40 o'clock,
Tuesday night at the residence of his brother
in-law, Mr.. John G. Rouse, has caused deep re-
| greet not only in the town, where he was very
| popular, but wherever he was known in the
county. MIR. Hanway had been suffering for Il
year or more with an affection of the liver and
stomach, but his health was not thought to be
seriously impaired. On Friday of last week he
was taken with severe headache but was able
to drive out on Sunday. The next day he grew
worse and on Tuesday, being unable to attend
TO business, was taken to the residence of his sis
ter, Mrs. Rouse. His symptoms continuing I'M
favorable, on Thursday, at his own request, his
personal friend, DR.. J. Edwin Michael, of Balti-
more, was sent for and held consultation
with his physician, DIR. E. Hall Richardson
Everything was tried that medical skill could
suggest, but without avail. 1t was the opin-
/ ion of the physicians that death was caused by
passive congestion of the brain. His mother
was with him when he died.
The deceased was AZ years of age and was u
son of the late Thomas Hanway, OF Creswell,
and this is the first death that JAS occurred in
the immediate family since the fathers death,
% years ago. His brothers are all wel-known
citizens, being Messrs. b. Frank, &. William,
Joseph b., T. Littleton, David and Edward c.

of the Green Serpentine Marble Works, on Deer
Creek, is having ground cleared preparatory to
the erection of an addition 80 by % feet in size

more machinery aud the employment of adj

can be dispensed with. The chief motive power
at the works is water, but two drills and a

works give employment to from IL 10 20 men.

The Present and Future NJ the
Opera House.


Last night the Opera House was
not very we'll filled, due to the fact
that Milton Mobiles new piece has not
gained the appreciation of the Los
Angeles public. Tonight a new play
will be presented-Loue and LaW,
which is said to be very much more
taking. as it is light comedy and
full of finn. 1t is expected that the at
tendance will be larger.
The sale OF seats for next week is al
ready very large. james O'Neil's pro-
duction OF Monte Cristo will be the at
traction, and it will draw full
houses all the week. OF this
the Chicago Mail speaks as follows /:
Dumas novel and Monte Crist0,
the plav, have very little affinity to
each other. This fact by no means
detracts ON the merits of the stage
work it simply emphasizes the diff
culties which confront the dramatist
who tries to adopt the remarkable
fiction of Alexander Dumas, especi-
ally a work of such a remarkable
length. AS presented by Mr.. O'Neill,
Monte Cristo ranks as one of tie
greatest successes of the modern
drama. Everybody who has read
the romance has made Edmund
Dantes' hero; consequently the inn
personation of that hero becomes a
matter Of popular interest, and when
played as ONeiIl PLAYS it a matter Of
popular delight. 1t is difficult to i'm
agine any actor of this age surprising
him in the character. His heart is
evidently in the work. He treats the
ever-varying points of Monte Cristo's
lie with infinite skill and natural
ness he brings to bear upon the
work a ripe experience, a sound judy
ment, and profound and signal
mastery of his art. The support is
good, the scenery entirely new, the
properties handsome, and the whole
production marked by refined taste
and elaborateness."
On Saturday night the Pavilion will
reopen with the flights o. London, a

people in the vicinity have all aband-
oned their houses as they are fearful
of further disasters, and are finding
shelter and protection where best they
may. Most of them are staying in
the school house, which is quite sub
stantial building"
Altogether the value of the property
which has been destroyed in the Cana
ola will not fall short of $4,000. The
hotel was well-ftted and furnished,
and almost everything is total wreck
entailing a loss on the preprietors Of
about $4,000.
